The FCC voted to end net neutrality rules, but Congress can overrule the FCC with the Congressional Review Act (CRA). Unlike a normal bill, the CRA only requires a simple majority in the Senate and House. Once we get the votes, we win. No filibuster. No procedural tricks. And we already have 50 of 51 votes needed to win. Can you help us get that last Senate vote? Focus on your state's representatives first (the ones in green are already with us) and then target the 49 undecided senators. Once we win the Senate, the fight moves to the House, where we need over 25 Republican votes to win. So tweet and call your reps too!

What is net neutrality? Why does it matter? Watch these videos!

Net neutrality is the principle that Internet providers like Comcast & Verizon should not control what we see and do online. In 2015, startups, Internet freedom groups, and 3.7 million commenters won strong net neutrality rules from the US Federal Communication Commission (FCC). The rules prohibit Internet providers from blocking, throttling, and paid prioritization—"fast lanes" for sites that pay, and slow lanes for everyone else. Want to learn more? Watch these videos!

They are Team Cable. They want to end net neutrality, to control & tax the Internet.

Cable companies are famous for high prices and poor service. Several rank
as the most hated companies in America. Now, they're lobbying the FCC and
Congress to end net neutrality. Why? It's simple: if they win the power
to slow sites down, they can bully any site into paying millions to escape
the "slow lane." This would amount to a tax on every sector of the
American economy. Every site would cost more, since they'd all have to pay
big cable. Worse, it would extinguish the startups and independent voices
who can't afford to pay. If we lose net neutrality, the Internet will
never be the same.

Now, we must convince Congress to stop the FCC. Can you display an alert on your site?

Congress can vote to stop the FCC, but to make that happen we need a massive volume of phone calls to Congress. If you have a website, you can display a prominent alert on your site that shows the world what the web will look like without net neutrality and asks your visitors to call Congress. Click here for a demo, grab the code on GitHub, or use one of thesebanners. None of these will actually block, slow, or paywall your site. But, they will let your users contact their representatives in Congress without having to leave your page. They appear once per user per day and users can easily click away. Add this line of code to your site's header!

The Internet is under attack. But we can still win.

The FCC killed net neutrality rules, but Congress can stop the FCC with a "Congressional Review Act" (CRA) vote. We have to win. If we don't, big ISPs like Comcast will control what we see & do online with new fees, throttling, and censorship. We need just one more vote in the Senate. Can you write Congress now?
